The Watch Thread - Part 10

[TeenTitan01]

Can't find online this model. sIC?

this watch has a strong cult following and is out-of-production since 2008/2009. you need to be patient + lucky + search diligently online + visit 2nd hand watch shops to score this beauty.

Actually I think you are in the majority, turtle/cushion /squares are in the minority.

It's the design plus the layout of the text and logos on the dial that makes this one very easy on the eye.

That X is in the right place now.

i actually prefer the old school style SEIKO logo with the slightly smaller font AUTOMATIC under it. looks more classy. but that's just me.

Which bezel Color nice uh, I see got black gold, blue black, full blue all sian.

really depends on your personal taste. the black and gold is popular. those who love blue will of course swear by the blue and "batman" versions. pepsi lovers will love the pepsi bezel although that comes only with the rubber strap. the coke bezel comes with the s/steel bracelet though. those hard core will of course collect the whole series.

cushioned-shaped cases were 70s fashion, the turtle is indeed a watch icon!

Cant wait to get the Padi Turtle soon. What do you guys will be the eventual market price once the supply stabilizes in SG?

Sent from Samsung SM-T819Y using GAGT

K2 selling S$500+, but Mr Goh says he don't know when he will get the 2nd batch... his 1st batch already sold/pre-booked.

Turtle uses the 4 series movement versus the 6 series movement in the Sumo.

Both are hackable and hand wind. I own the 4 series monster comparing it with my 6 series Shogun the second hand movement for the 6 series seems to be "smoother"

Sent from OnePlus ONEPLUS A3003 using GAGT

technically both beat at 21,600vph.

 

[TeenTitan01]

Any idea where can find sumo in sg?

can try big time: https://www.bigtimesgp.com/brands/seiko, skywatches, etc.

I have read somewhere that says 6r15 and 4r36 doesnt differ much and are quite similar probably except for the PR which is 50 hours and 42 hours respectively. The 8L35 is then a different league

 

[TeenTitan01]

A shot of my "core" watches. The OS300 is absent as it has been sent for servicing.

your white dial orient saturation diver will be out of place in a sea of black dial watches.
